RallyCross season is wrapping up with two more events to go. I admit I haven’t been particularly enthused about this season in general. The car was working relatively well (compared to last year, that is), but I just haven’t been feeling it. Half the time I showed up at the event and decided to take pictures rather than drive. Thankfully Sunday’s event reminded me why we do this madness in the first place.

T-Shirt weather, extremely fast course, fairly tight competition, this is what Rallying is supposed to be!

The only downside to the day was a newly exposed weakness in our jury-rigged fuel filter system. When you drive really quickly on loose surfaces the entire area gets pretty soundly pelted with all manner of rocks and mud. On my second run the rocks took out the hose clamps to the fuel line leaving me with a DNF. On my third run a rock went THROUGH the plastic filter though it didn’t impact the run. We have some modifications to make before this Sundays event, obviously.

In other Rally News, we had our monthly Bluenose AutoSport club meeting last night and finally put dates on the Rally Sprint events! July 20th and August 16th will see the return of performance rally to Nova Scotia, hopefully with an eventual eye to the return of full stage events! More details are coming as they get worked out.
